VDOT’s Richmond District Environmental Office has performed environmental reviews and coordination to obtain
information about environmental resources in the project vicinity; to provide natural and historic resource
agencies an opportunity to review and comment on the project during its development, and to identify
opportunities for avoidance, minimization and mitigation of potential environmental impacts.
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is applicable to this project and NEPA documentation has been
developed in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and in accordance with federal
guidelines. The NEPA documents include information from various technical reviews including those related
to natural resources, biological resources, water quality, air quality, noise, etc.
Also, in compliance with the National Historic Preservation Act, Section 106 and 36 CFR Part 800, information
concerning the effects of the proposed project on properties listed on or eligible for listing on the National
Register of Historic Places is included in the project’s environmental documentation.
The project will continue to be coordinated with the appropriate federal, state and local agencies as part of the
environmental review and approval processes required throughout project development and construction. All
required environmental clearances and permits will be obtained prior to commencement of construction.
Strict compliance with all environmental conditions and commitments resulting from regulatory approvals,
and implementation of VDOT’s specifications and standard best practices will protect the environment during
construction.
